Mu Hanyan thought, she wouldn't die anyway, even if the Tianxin technique didn't work, at most she would just suffer a little. In two lifetimes, she had cultivated from a waste to her current level, hadn't she suffered enough?
Since the other party was able to create such an illusion in the Black Wood Prison, he must not be an ordinary person. Mu Hanyan was not worried that the other party would break his promise.
"Then let's start now." Seeing that Mu Hanyan finally agreed and did not deny it as he had worried, the strong man breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he took out a book made of animal skin and made notes while selecting herbs.
Mu Hanyan leaned over to take a look and found that he had made detailed records of every time he tested medicinal herbs.
Mu Hanyan couldn't help but take another look at the burly man. This guy looked rough, but he was actually very delicate in mind. No wonder he could form such a wonderful illusion space and transcend life and death. It really made sense.
After reading his records, Mu Hanyan finally knew what those herbs she didn't recognize were. They were all exotic flowers and plants that had long been extinct in the Holy Court Continent and the God's Continent. Only their names were left, and there were no related pictures.
Mu Hanyan was secretly astonished. She had never expected to find so many exotic flowers and plants that grew in prehistoric times in this illusion of life and death. Could it be that this illusionary space was formed millions of years ago? In that case, wouldn't this strong man in front of her be a million years old? What was his origin? Why was he so weak?
Just as Mu Hanyan was daydreaming, the strong man had already lit the firewood again, put the prepared herbs into the pot one by one, and then made a series of hand gestures, and the flames also changed subtly with his hand gestures.
With Mu Hanyan's alchemy skills and keen eyesight, it wasn't hard to tell that he was using the authentic alchemy hand seals. But honestly, this was the first time Mu Hanyan had seen someone using such a large pot to make alchemy. And when she thought about the broth he had just made using this pot, she felt a mixture of amusement and amusement.
However, Mu Hanyan was somewhat surprised to see that as the sturdy man's hand gestures changed, the herbs in the pot melted rapidly, then blended together, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled her nostrils. She had never expected that this cauldron would not only have such powerful defenses, but also such wonderful uses. She had no idea how he had refined it.
Mu Hanyan believed that no alchemist would go to such great lengths to refine such a cauldron. Alchemists have their own pride, and the magical instruments they refine not only pursue practicality but also beauty. If they were to refine divine instruments, they would pursue perfection even more. How could they possibly refine such a strange and bizarre thing? This protective magic pot was most likely the strong man's own masterpiece.
It took the burly man over an hour to finally add all the herbs to the pot. It was clear he had put a lot of effort into refining the elixir. Even with Mu Hanyan's discerning eye, he couldn't find any fault with the order and timing of adding the herbs. The only problem was the dosage.
The sturdy man finally made his final hand gesture, and the entire pot of herbal juice condensed into less than a bowlful. It became crystal clear, like nectar, and its aroma was truly refreshing. Of course, Mu Hanyan knew that the taste of this pot of herbal soup might not be as enticing as it appeared, and its effects might not be as refreshing. It was more likely to leave people in a state of despair.
"Okay, drink it." The burly man took out a fist-sized cup, filled it with medicine soup and handed it to Mu Hanyan.
This cup is made of fine jade, which is meticulously carved. It looks magnificent. It is filled with the medicinal soup that is like nectar, and it has a mysterious beauty that tempts the appetite.
Mu Hanyan took the cup, took a deep breath, and started practicing the Tianxin technique in advance. Although she knew it wouldn't kill her, she still wanted to suffer as little as possible.
"Do you really want to drink?" Jiang Qiling looked at Mu Hanyan nervously.
Mu Hanyan nodded. She had thought it over carefully. Since she had made the decision, she would naturally not back down at this time.
"Actually, even if you can't kill him, he can't do anything to you. The worst that can happen is that we can just keep running away. After a long time, he might get impatient." Jiang Qiling said earnestly.
Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan didn't think so. This elixir was obviously extremely important to the big man, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much thought into it. Although she didn't know why he didn't try it himself, but had to find Jiang Qiling and herself to try it, Mu Hanyan knew that he would never let her and Jiang Qiling go easily.
Besides, it would be boring to stay alone in this fantasy world of life and death. Playing hide-and-seek with them is at least a bit of fun, so he probably wouldn't feel impatient.
So, Mu Hanyan waited until the medicinal soup cooled down and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan finally did not listen to her advice and drank the medicine, Jiang Qiling hurriedly retreated several feet away, looking at her with sympathy and a nervous expression.
Even the strong man had a solemn expression. He stepped back far away, then raised the big pot to cover his whole body, leaving only his head exposed, and stared at her vigilantly.
Needless to say, Mu Hanyan could guess that taking this medicinal soup would cause people to go crazy with pain, which was why the two of them were acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, having said that, the strong man's cauldron really had many uses. It could be used to cook, refine medicine, and even serve as a tortoise shell to protect its owner. Tsk tsk...
Not daring to delay, Mu Hanyan accelerated the practice of the Tianxin technique, waiting for the pain to come.
Outside, Jiang Qiling and the burly man were also waiting, looking nervous. It seemed that they were ready to turn around and run at any time.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, half a quarter of an hour had passed, then a quarter of an hour had passed, then half an hour had passed, then an hour had passed, and then two hours had passed.
After waiting for a long time, Mu Hanyan remained calm, without showing any sign of pain, nor did she become as crazy and ruthless as Jiang Qiling had imagined.
What's going on? Jiang Qiling and the burly man were both surprised.
Mu Hanyan was equally surprised. As soon as she took a sip of the medicinal soup, she felt a hot current suddenly rising from her lower abdomen, like a burning flame.
Mu Hanyan had no doubt that in just a moment, her internal organs would be burned by the flames, and she would have to endure the pain of being burned by the flames. She even fell into madness due to the extreme pain. Mu Hanyan also quickly concentrated her thoughts and guarded her mind to deal with the pain that might come at any time.
But unexpectedly, she waited and waited for a long time, but did not feel any pain at all. Instead, the fiery heat gradually became cool and warm, and then disappeared without a trace.
